WOOSTER — Authorities continue to look for the driver of a car that fled the scene after crashing into an Amish buggy Wednesday evening, causing serious injury to at least one of the buggy's occupants.
The buggy's operator Jacob Hershberger, 32, County Road 281, Sullivan, was treated for injuries at the scene but received no other medical care. His four occupants, however, were all transported by emergency squad to Lodi Hospital, said Lt. Stephanie Norman, commander of the Wooster Post of the State Highway Patrol.
Miriam Hershberger, 8, and Emma Hershberger, 4, both were treated and release. Susan Hershberger, 5, was flown from the Lodi hospital to Akron Children's Hospital, where staff said she was “doing better” Thursday afternoon, said Norman,

The crash occurred on state Route 539, north of Ruff Road, in Congress Township at 7:55 p.m.
According to the patrol, the horse-drawn buggy, operated by Jacob Hershberger, was southbound on state Route 539, when it was struck from behind by a southbound passenger car. The collision forced the buggy off the right side of the road, where it crashed into a ditch, ejecting all the occupants with the exception of Miriam Hershberger.
Although injured, the horse survived the crash and was taken from the scene.
The car fled the scene; however, vehicle parts recovered from the scene indicate it was likely a 2001 or 2002 champagne or gold colored Honda Accord. Based on evidence, the vehicle sustained significant damage to its front end and right side, said Norman.
Never exists a circumstance in which an at-fault driver is permitted to leave a crash scene, said Norman, noting, it is against Ohio law to leave the scene of an injury

We have the ability to find out who the driver is, and that's what they should be doing (she said of the division's investigative office). We're doing everything we can to figure this out. We have an injured family here. They need to know who, what, when, where, why. This is a crime. It's not just a traffic crime. It's a crime.”
To the missing driver, Norman said, “Now would be the time to turn yourself in. There's still time to explain your actions.”
She continues to ask for the public's help, noting even the smallest bit of information may be critical in putting together all the pieces needed to solve the puzzle. “If we can find the vehicle, typically, we can find the driver,” she said, explaining license plate numbers are especially helpful in such investigations.
The topography at the crash site is straight and flat and “there is no reason (the motorist) should not have been able to see (the buggy) unless they were distracted or impaired.”
The buggy was properly and legally marked with 72 inches of reflective tape on the back, as well as additional safety markings, she
As pointed out by Meagher JA in Marien v Gardiner it is not possible that the driver could foresee and react to any event that could take place within the area surrounding the vehicle. Therefore, the driver could not have breached his duty of care in any circumstance that an object by chance is to collide with a vehicle on the road.
After sifting through the evidence, the culprit of the accident can be determined. The accident occurred on 7:45 AM on the date of September 11, 2001. At at stoplight, four cars were stopped, but a car accident occurred. Based on prior evidence from other cases, the back car is usually the culprit. Dr. Otto Mobile’s interview shows that he was not in a rush, going to lecturing a class, and he was behind a dancing woman, presumably dancing to music. Also, Ken Notstop was not in a rush as well and he was part of a tree business. Following Ken, Kelly Sion was interviewed, showing that she had a song stuck in her head. Due to the fact she wanted to exercise before she was supposed to open the gym, she was in a rush.. Anita Newcar was in a rush due to the fact that she was already late to work, and she was behind a car with trees and a nest on the back. Due to the fact that Kelly had a song stuck in her head, she could’ve been the woman dancing in a car that Dr. Otto Mobile mentioned, showing that she was in front of Otto. Because Ken was the only person

On May 14th, 1988 a group of children and adults from the First Assembly of God Church in Radcliff, Kentucky got aboard a Ford built 1977 Superior B-700 school bus and headed to King’s Island amusement park. King’s Island is located about 170 miles from Radcliff where the church is located. After spending the whole day at the amusement park, the group got on the bus and began traveling on Interstate seventy-one in northern Kentucky back to Radcliff. At about 10:45 P.M. while heading south on Interstate 71 just outside of Carrollton, Kentucky, the bus collided with a black pickup truck driven by Larry W. Mahoney.
The accident took place on the intersection of 32 and County Line Road. All three passengers of the SUV suffered minor injuries but are okay. Their names will not be released at this time because they are minors.
That night, many witnesses reported having seen a man changing the tire of his van and waving any possible help away angrily while others reported seeing a woman wandering around the side of the dangerous highway. More witnesses reported that Kenneth and his wife were having many violent disputes at their home that usually resulted in Kenneth pursuing an angry Yvonne around the block. The most compelling evidence against Mathison, however, is purely scientific. Detective Paul Ferreira first noticed that the extensive blood stains inside the Mathison van. After hearing Mathison’s original account, he summoned the assistance of famed forensic expert Dr. Henry Lee to analyze what he thought was inconsistent evidence. Blood stains on the paneling and the spare tire in the cargo area reveal low-velocity blood stains meaning that the blood probably dripped from Yvonne’s head onto the floor. The stains found on the roof and steering wheel were contact transfer patterns probably caused by Mathison’s bloody hands. Blood stains on the driver’s side of the van were contact-dripping patterns which indicate that Mathison touched the inside of the van multiple times before and after moving his wife’s body. The final groups of blood stains on the instrument panel of the van were medium-velocity stains which show investigators that Mathison probably struck his wife at least once in the front seat causing the blood to fly from her open head wound. The enormous amounts of blood inside the van lead prosecutor Kurt Spohn to investigate the Mathison case as a murder instead of a misdemeanor traffic violation.
